Why should visual design in technical documentation reflect the product's design intentions?
Because aligning visuals (diagrams, layouts) with the product's intended use helps users understand proper workflows and avoid misusing the product.
How does modular/visual content reuse support better documentation consistency?
Reusing visual components (icons, diagrams, modules) ensures updates propagate everywhere, cutting redundancy and reducing maintenance effort.
Should visuals always mirror the underlying content structure?
Yes, visuals should follow the same modular logic as your content to maintain coherence and facilitate reuse.
